In Guadeloupe and Martinique a bacteriological infection is killing both local and recently introduced varieties of papaya.

The physical barrier achieved by intercropping rows of pigeon peas, bananas or cassava with the papaya also helps to slow the spread. But the only real solution is to develop resistant varieties. Such work is currently underway in Guadeloupe.
